The submission references a legitimate academic research project (GreenCity4Aging) funded by the FCT, addressing relevant social issues (aging and urban green spaces). However, the submission quality is extremely low, featuring verifiable falsehoods in the traction and revenue fields (claiming '300M marketcap' and 'most people have used my product'). As a technology product assessment, it scores very low due to lack of a defined technological solution, incoherent data, and exaggerated reach claims.
